Services
The complete team for any zoning project.
From a full code rewrite to a single training session, ZoneCo brings lawyers, city planners, urban designers, and historic preservationists to the table. Every service below is delivered by people who have administered zoning inside local government.
Core services
Most engagements begin with a diagnostic and end with implementation support. The work in between is tailored to the community.

Full rewrites, targeted amendments, unified development codes, and subdivision regulations.
Zoning diagnostics
A plain-language report on what your code says, how it performs, and what to fix first.
Sign codes
Content-neutral, graphically rich sign regulations that meet current constitutional standards.
Historic preservation ordinances and guidelines
Preservation frameworks that protect character while remaining workable for owners.
Post-adoption services
Staff training, transition memos, digital code formats, and maintenance after adoption.
Board and commission trainings
Half- and full-day sessions for planning commissions, zoning boards, and elected officials.
On-call zoning services
As-needed zoning capacity for communities without it in-house.
Impact mitigation and community benefits
